Do you have an angry child? Books are a fantastic way to help deal with transitions, issues that a child might be facing, or for dealing with emotions. Whenever I am having a ‘problem’ as a parent, I turn to a kids’ book to help explain the solution. These books for the angry child can help kids who might not know what to make of their intense feelings learn how to not only identify their emotions but what to DO with them in an appropriate manner. We deal with intense emotions a lot at my house, with three kids 5 and under it’s kind of a given. We have many tools that we use, but books are most definitely a large part of them. I hope you will find that one, or some, of these help your family as well!

Resources for Parents of The Angry Child

Books

In dealing with anger in children, it is important to remember to respond calmly and with patience. Responding with anger only creates a vicious cycle leading to an explosive volcano of emotions. Easier said than done, yes, but important to remember nonetheless. Here are some excellent books on gentle parenting that help teach a perspective to keep in mind when your child is angry, often only thinking about their behavior differently can dramatically affect the way we respond.

Apps

Yep, there’s an app for that! My favorite is the Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame Street app. This teaches kids to regulate and manage big emotions, and offers a resource library of sorts for parents. A must-download.
